When did you order?

Good luck! Mine arrived @ MD 16 days after it was built. Hope it's similar for you.

I’m excited but a little irritated. This will pose a challenge though for me to pick up. I’m off till the 5th of July then essentially working through mid August. I’ll probably just have them ship it the 1,100 miles to Minnesota. I was hoping to make a trip out of it but duty calls.

I really don’t understand their production strategy.

5/19, VIN 5/22, Scheduled on 5/26, was told built date on 7/1 on 6/18... was 6/30 on 6/17 or 6/16...so I imagine it keeps getting pushed back

Spends too much time on here
That’s frustrating. Is it the non-eTorque holding yours up? Otherwise seems like a pretty straightforward build compared to other BC’s built recently.

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm not sure as yeah I'm seeing similar builds too. No one knows why. I've asked the dealer and Ram support.That’s frustrating. Is it the non-eTorque holding yours up? Otherwise seems like a pretty straightforward build compared to other BC’s built recently.
Sandi reached out to me yesterday to let me know about the rim situation. I’m really not digging the Longhorn rims at all. She gave the option to keep it or cancel. Not sure what I’m doing at this point. Curious if Ram is willing to do something.
Yeah it's not ideal. The gray ones are just okay I suppose in my opinion but I'd prefer different ones. Doesn't sound like there's any way to get the original ones now. Ram should really offer a credit on the truck so you can buy any reasonably priced aftermarket ones. Especially since they continue to advertise the original rims to this day...
I'm sure we'll just have to take it or leave it. Sadly these companies just screw you. Some 1500s have had issues with water infiltration, and Ram wouldn't fix it so a class action lawsuit had to be filed.

I looked up the Limited wheel part number. It appears they are available as a service part, but many times a site will show a part as available and they actually are not. They are pricey, but if they are available as a service part, I can't imagine why they aren't available in production.
I don't think the longhorn wheel is that terrible, although ideally, I would like the correct wheels. At the end of the day, not a deal breaker for me.

Yeah I feel the same way. It's not a deal breaker because the rims are merely asthetic and the rest of the truck is there in working condition as ordered, presumably. Not happy that I'm not getting exactly what was advertised but I'm not sure realistically we'll get anywhere with FCA by bringing it up to them.

They're also selling them on the official Mopar website, but they can't put them on our trucks (even though they still picture these rims to this day!)? Is Mopar not owned by FCA/Stellantis? I don't know how they get away with that.

Where are those fees listed? My POC didn’t have that I don’t think.
Well my truck is shipped I guess. Still no ETA. I am a bit ill prepared for a July delivery. I have virtually no days off other than one weekend on the 25th and it’s my wife’s birthday and we have concert tickets. I’m debating whether to have it shipped 1,200 miles to Minnesota or try and get 2-3 days off work to fly in and drive it up north. I’m not sure I’m gonna be able to get coverage from work. Fiscally it will cost me a lot more because I will not get paid for the days I’m missing and have to spring for the flight for the two of us plus hotels and gas. I think I know what I have to do but looking for some affirmation.

Are limited trims typically ship this fast from order date? I was told it was at least 3 months for the Laramie I ordered. Looks like you got yours under 30 days.

When you buy/register a cae in NJ, they charge you for your registration for 4 or 5 years upfront. That is also how long your inspection sticker is good for

Yup it’s wild. Sandi told me 15-25 wks++. She said it’s been “all over the place”. I tried to switch the E locker with the anti slip 1 hour after the order was processed but Ram had already accepted it. I could have reordered but it was a crap shoot when that was gonna get picked up. Since I’d sold my daily driver I wasn’t really mad and kept the E locker. I’ve had shoes and suits take longer from order to delivery haha. Of course it put me in a pickle with my work schedule. I was looking forward to visiting Louisiana but looks like that’ll have to wait now.
